Sample Paragraph
It is a well-known fact that the English have a special interest in weather. If a foreign visitor wants to start a conversation with an Englishman or woman but is at a loss to know where to begin, he or she would do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject, which will encourage even the most reluctant of Englishmen to enter into a discussion. People say that once given half a chance, Englishmen would talk about the weather at length.
Write a paragraph on one of the following topics. One topic has been given a detailed outline that you can follow.>
